Description:

Actor Sugino Yosuke, despite his profound dread of horror, finds himself in an unexpected predicament: he receives an offer to be the lead in an overseas horror movie. As he grapples with the daunting prospect of facing his greatest fear on screen, fate intervenes. He encounters manga writer Seino Toru, who is making a guest appearance. One day, Sugino listens intently as Seino recounts a strange and chilling story. This peculiar narrative, possibly rooted in a mysterious Tokyo legend or phenomenon, begins to subtly influence Sugino. The lines between Seino's unsettling tale and the script for his upcoming horror film start to blur, making Sugino question if the terror he is about to portray is more than just fiction. He wonders if the very essence of "Kaikizake" is not only part of Seino's story but also manifesting in his own reality as he prepares for his most terrifying role yet.
